International Disney titles

[ThiagoPE]

(...)Hmm, and in Spain (I think) "Brother Bear" was retitled "Land of the Bears".

Not Spain!

Mexico!

[PheR]

Ok these are some Latin American Spanish names:

FUN AN FANCY FREE = Diversion y fantasia (Fun and Fantasy)
THE BLACK CAULDRON = El caldero Magico (The magic cauldron)
THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE = Policias y Ratones (Police and mice) Beacause here in Mexico sometimes we call "ratones" (mice) to the "rateros" (thiefs)
OLIVER AND COMPANY = Oliver y su pandilla (Oliver and his gang)
101 DALMATIANS = the release name was "La noche de las narices frias" (the cold nouses night)
A BUGS LIFE = Bichos (Bugs)
FINDING NEMO = Buscando a Nemo (Looking for Nemo)
THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE = Las locuras del emperador (The emperor's crazy stuff)
BROTHER BEAR = Tierra de osos (BearLand)
HOME ON THE RANGE = Vacas vaqueras (CowCows)

Learning Spanish With Mickey Mouse Boy

FINDING NEMO = Buscando a Nemo (Looking for Nemo)

Actually that's not the exact spanish translation for Finding Nemo.

Finding Nemo=Encontrando a Nemo
Looking for Nemo=Buscando a Nemo



Looking at: To Look at someone or thing , Looking For: To search for someone or thing, Look: to see something or someone, or keep eyes fixed on

Buscando:The Act of looking for or searching for someone or thing, Buscar: To look for, to search

Mirando: To look at someone or thing, Mirar: To see something or someone, or keep eyes fixed on

Finding: The Act to find something or someone. find: to discover
Encontrando:The act of finding or discovering someone or thing, Encontrar: to find or discover something or someone


The correct translation for Finding Nemo is "Encontrando a Nemo"

Examples:

Estoy Buscando a Nemo
I'm Looking For Nemo

Estoy Mirando a Nemo
I'm Looking at Nemo

Estoy Encontrando a Nemo
I'm Finding Nemo


I wonder who Disney hires to do their Translations?

[ThiagoPE]

Estoy Encontrando a Nemo
I'm Finding Nemo

Are you sure this phase are correct? Im just asking it, because in portuguese (Estou Encontrando Nemo) it are not correct.

In brazil The title "Procurando Nemo" Really means "Looking for nemo"

Thiago

In Spanish " Encontrar means To Find" Encontrando means finding"

so the corrent translation from the english tittle would be: Encontrando a Nemo" meaning Finding Nemo.

Buscando means Looking For so Buscando a Nemo is not the exact translation from the english tittle. both words do give the idea of tracking someone named Nemo down. but Find and Looking for are two different words. Finding meaning determined and would most definetly be discovering where this NEmo is and Looking for meaning to Search for Nemo in a casual basis.

Marlin wants to Find his son not Look for him.

Home On The Range = Herrie Op De Praire(dutch) (Trouble On The Praire) rough translate.

No problem... I'm very glad you liked the topic!

By the way, Brazilians speaking Spanish is a classic in American films... just watch the "Simpsons" episode "Blame it on Lisa"! And contraring what most people think, the Brazilian people weren't angry at all... we actualy though the episode was quite (quite? VERY) funny. Even if some of the things portraied weren't true... And no, we don't live in a jungle!

[Joe Carioca]

Guru, Ever been to Bahia?

By the way, I don't live a Bahia... neither Rio de Janeiro!
Hmm, I live near "Porto Alegre", capital of my state... The city appears in the Brazilian map of "Saludos Amigos", when the plane makes a stop there.

I understeand what you were trying to say, MMB. But, actually, the Brazilian and Spanish titles are not literal translations of the original title. That is why I put it in my list... And so, yes, both "Procurando Nemo" and "Buscando a Nemo" mean "Looking for Nemo". If they were going to translate it literally, it would be "Encontrando Nemo". For some reason, maybe Disney marketing department though these titles would be more appealing to the public.
